eddie on a cleanse

I love how we have a four-page thread going about Ed's current diet! I've wanted to do this for a while, but I'd probably have to take some vacation days... haha. I don't know if I could work on lemonade and salt alone.

And if they had another girl baby, that's cute! I like the idea of Ed having two little girls.

I'll stick to my Keith Moon diet, I think.

So I'm a bit confused?? There's been quite a few posts from people excited that Ed has "quit smoking"........I haven't been able to read the full articla - only what was in the original post here, where he says nothing about QUITTING smoking.....only that as part of the cleanse, he isn't smoking.
To those of you that have read the full article....does he say that he is quitting?? or are people just assuming that because he's stopped smoking during the cleanse that he's quit?

DAMMIT! :mad:

Who's gonna be my idol NOW???

The only reason I smoke is because Ed does :(

I find it hard to believe that someone would quit smoking for, say, a month, for a cleanse and then intend to go back to it.... I mean once you've gone a month, doesn't it get easier from there?

On a side note, my grandfather quit cold turkey after being a heavy smoker for 40-odd years. My twin brother and I were his first grandchildren, and the day we were born, my mother said to him (her father) that he wouldn't be allowed to come near her babies with a cigarette... and so he quit right then and there. I am so proud of him every time I think of that

I have read that it takes 3 to 5 days for the nicotine to leave the system. After that it's getting over the ritual of actually smoking.

I quit 12 years ago, the first week was the hardest. For me it was something I had to work at, reminding myself that I don't smoke. I don't even miss it. In fact it's weird to think that not only did I smoke but a chain smoker for several years as well.

My husband's reason was more materialistic rather than for his health. This was back in 1999 and it was before we got married. One day, he came home and said, the cigarettes were so damn expensive now and that he was going to quit. He never smoked after that day.

This brings up an excellent point. I would love to see heavy smokers actually calculate exactly how much money they'd save per week/month/year. Tell me most wouldn't at least consider quitting after that!

"While our bodies are extremely efficient and store most substances “for a rainy day”, there are many unnatural and unfortunate toxins in our environment that should not be stored, and the only way to release many of them is through fasting. The enzymes in our blood are normally preoccupied with digestion, however after we go for 24 hours without food digestion ceases and detoxification begins. Those same enzymes (never wanting to take a break) move from the gut into the bloodstream where they immediately begin purifying the body, neutralizing toxins, dissolving cysts, destroying cancer cells and releasing stored toxins from cells where they are eliminated from the body

During a fast, the level of toxins in the bloodstream can increase by as much as 1000%, meaning uncomfortable symptoms such as headaches may occur. In general, during a fast, the worse you feel the more it is working, because these unnatural substances take their toll one way or another, whether via a slow time-release or a quick purge. Subsequent fasts will feature less uncomfortable symptoms as our bodies have less accumulated toxins.


Types of Fasts

1) Total fast – A total fast means not consuming any food or water. While it may be that when we become severely dehydrated our cells are able to squeeze out toxins that would otherwise remain in the water (and thus in the cells), and while plants often bounce back stronger after they are dehydrated, pure fasting is generally not recommended as water is essential to eliminate toxins.

2) Water fast – A water fast means consuming only water. While safer than total fasting, there are some beneficial substances that are alright to consume during a fast so this fast is also not recommended, especially for beginners.

3) Juice fast - A juice fast means consuming only liquids like freshly squeezed juice, with no solid foods. You must also refrain from consuming any caffeine, nicotine, alcohol or prescription drugs. This is the most common type of fasting and the one we will explore in this article."

Detox diets are a bunch of bunk...
